- Scams involving your Social Security number and benefits are on the rise. Here are the facts:
- Government employees will not threaten to take away benefits or ask for money, gift cards, or personal information to protect your Social Security number or benefits.
- Scammers can fake your caller ID. So don’t be fooled if the call seems to be from the SSA or the SSA Inspector General’s Fraud Hotline number.
- If a caller asks for your Social Security number, bank account number, or credit card information, hang up.
- Report Social Security phone scams to the SSA Inspector General online at oig.ssa.gov. Visit identitytheft.gov/ssa for more tips.
